To all whom, it mag concern:

Be it known that I, ROSINA PINSENT, a subject of the of Great Britain, residing at Torquay, in the county of Devon, Eng- 5 land, have invented. certain new and'useful Improvements in Infant-Soothers, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it ap pertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to what are known as infant-soothers; and the object thereof,

is to provide a device of this class which is intended as a substitute for the ordinary rub: ber teat, a further object being to provide a device of the class specified composed or a composition of soluble and nutritious material; and with-these and other obj ects' in view the invention consists in a device of the class specified constructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

Fig. 3 a section on the line 2 z of Fig. 1.

My improved infant-soother comprises a head portion (1, preferably circular or cylindrical in cross-section and rounded at one end,

3 5 as shown at a, and provided with a reduced shank or neck member a through the end portion of which is passed a pin or similar device b, composed of bone, hard rubber, ivory,

or any other suitable material, said end por- 40 tion of the neck or shank an -being provided with a transverse opening 6 for this-purpose, and said pin 1) is provided at one end with a head 6 and at the opposite end with a removable nut or similar device I), and I also preferably place in the head and neck or shank portlon a longitudinally-arranged cord or thread 0, having at one end a loop 0 through which the pin 12 is passed, the object of thepin 6 and the thread or cord 0, being to prevent the swallowing of the device, and in practice I also preferably connect with the neck or shank portion 03. of the device a disk,

plate, or similar device 1, of any suitable mable composition comprising a suitable gum,

isinglass, honey, and :sugar and is flavored with caraway or any other desired flavoring material, and-other soluble substances may be substituted for the gum, isinglass, and other material, the object in this connection being to provide a soluble soother which will also'be nourishing or which is composed of nourishing material, and when gum, isinglass", honey, and sugar are employed the, component parts will prefenably be in the following proportions: gum, twelve parts; isinglass, three parts; honey, two parts, and sugar three parts.

It will .be understood that when the device is dissolved or artially dissolved the pin 6 and the guard disk or plated may be de- ,tached,and said parts may be connected with another soother comprising the head portion a and the neck or shank c.
